Message: [QUOTE="StormRaven, post: 1323971, member: 53047"] Chewie - the general rule of thumb is to raise an extra bb for each person in the pot. So at a minimum you should have made your raise 6xbb pf. The problem if you don't raise enough is you create a domino effect of callers. You did just that with your raise, it offered great pot odds for everyone to call with their crap. With large ppr's you want to isolate, you didn't. The more people in the pot the better chance one of them will donk out on you. Your flop reraise was horrible. With that many players in and the pot size what it was, you should have reraised to 3/4 the pot or the pot to push people out. If everyone folds, great, you've taken down a nice pot. Doyle Brunson says about AA and other large pprs "You will either win a small pot or lose a big one". True - it's a lesson myself and many others have learned the hard way. Weekends - most players love the weekends specifically because there is more money to be made by bad players. Most players that can not find a way to exploit the bad players are themselves bad players. Myself included. It's nothing to take offense to as some have done here. It's a simple truth. If you can't learn how to change up your play to exploit the bad players then you shouldn't be playing with them unless of course, you are trying to learn how and you are open to constructive criticism. It might come across as harsh at times, so what? Suck it up, read between the lines and pull out the info that has been presented, even if it's not presented in the most diplomatic way. In the long run it will help you and your bankroll. Personally, I don't think the intent of the majority of the players on here are waiting for a newer person to post something that may be considered the wrong train of thought just so they can pounce all over them and flame them. Like I said, it may not always be presented with a sugar coating but there is truth in the words. Pick out what you think will help and be relevant to you and ignore the rest or counter why you don't agree. I just think it's a bad train of thought to think the regulars are waiting to pounce on and flame people. Other forums do that plenty, 2+2 comes to mind. This one typically does not imo. Make some changes in your play, post hands in the HA section and once you've made some improvements to your game I think you will feel better about playing weekends. If you still don't, then avoid it and no one is going to fault you for preserving your own funds in the way you see best. GL! [/QUOTE]
